Which brings us back to my original question... why are ObjC threads
disabled?  I don't much care about my other patches, I just want
to know who the 10 others are who will break if we enable threads,
and how to fix that breakage.  My minor patches were only posted because
you asked :).

I do have other patches for thr-posix, but I agree that it would be
better if they went to gcc, and didn't get stacked locally.
